Student Cardinal Newman High School

Work Experience Bedford, Central Beds, Luton & Milton Keynes

A work placement gives students the chance to gain hands-on experience of the working world and can be invaluable to entering into your chosen career.

Work Experience is an important part of Education for Employability which allows students to learn about the world of work in a "real life" working situation.

It is intended to give a student an experience of working life and the Key Skills needed in the workplace rather than a chance to try out an occupation they may want to follow.

Develop's Work Experience programme manages these placements for Bedford, Luton & Milton Keynes. Develop offer employers and schools support and guidance throughout the work experience process.

Develop supports the education, training and development of young people by linking businesses and their employees with schools and colleges. Develop provide programmes that help people to learn about the world of work, to develop skills that will enhance their employability, to raise their aspirations for the future and to achieve their chosen career goals.
